Do do do de do de do do do do

I grew up with the Great Big Sea cover. I highly recommend it for anyone that’s into something more… folky.

There’s a whole political movement dedicated to not understanding Killing in the Name.

I have the VGT’s Charlie Brown Christmas album. I love it. The whole thing.

It’s also saying that artists’ works shouldn’t be considered personal property. Even as an anarchist, I wouldn’t want people taking my drawings and using them however they wanted without my blessing.

I’m a fan of anyone who can knock Yamamoto out of a game like he did. But yeah, fuck the Red Sox.

PeerTube’s is good. I’ve always really liked FunkWhale’s logo.

They just need their grain hopper filled and a scritching behind their ears.

They’re all so big now, and the vast, vast majority of people posting to them do not care. They don’t know what an API is, they didn’t know there were third party apps to begin with, and the dismantling of all of that third party infrastructure happened in a totally different world to their own. That has left the “counter culture” having to decide between all of that content they’ve been binging for years, and that is still over there because they weren’t the ones making it, or having to do the work of building something new and empty.

And yet, there are still 10s of thousands of us here…

Few groups have been bigger apologists for their corporate abusers than capital-G Gamers. They would have followed Nvidia into hell itself so long as Huang blew even the thinnest wisps of smoke up their unwashed asses. Discovering that their hardware suppliers have only ever used them for their money has seriously hurt their egos and broken their brains.

It’s like Gamers thought they were dating the most popular kid in school, only to discover that they were only hanging out with Gamers because Gamers’ mom had an old Mustang that she like them drive. Now they’re dating someone rich college student who owns a Porche, and they’re not returning Gamers’ calls, and they’re going through all of the phase of teenage grief.

But how can I have things my way, and also ensure that you have things my way, too, if we’re in different places?? Huh? Didja ever even think about that?

And I want emphasis on websites-as-community-hubs. Which means we have some significantly opposing desires.

Now what?

But with it being on a publicly accessible forum, there’s the implicit invitation to join the discussion.

Online community development and maintenance is actually a studied thing. The research shows that clear rules and a moderation team dedicated to community management and enforcing the rules is the best way forward.

One of the problems with Reddit – and now Lemmy – is the belief that the masses are the ones who should have the power to censure and censor, thanks to those little up and down arrows sprinkled all over the place. If we want to build better communities, we should be leaning away from that, not into it.

mods are elected by the users who generate the highest upvoted content in a community.

So, your solution is… cronyism? Because this just sounds like creating a special class of power-player users and a smoke screen for them.

It’s definitely more useful. I don’t think there’s any argument about that.

There can be too much of a good thing

More famous than SETI@Home?

Are you crazy? You’re going to get us sued into oblivion! Those Princess Posse fanatics are everywhere!

Hawking radiation doesn’t violate this principe. It’s converting the mass of the black hole into subatomic particles outside the event horizon.
